Miracles of Light and Happy Birthday to King James Version

I was reading in Acts 12 today how after Christ's resurrection, when the church was still very young, that Herod arrested Peter and locked him in prison. Then
"prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him."
As a result of those prayers a miracle occurred

And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.

And, behold, the aangel of the Lord came upon him and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands."

The angel of light then led him out of the prison.

This was a miracle that was a direct result of prayer - Heavenly Father sent a light that shined in the prison where Peter was. Sometimes our fervent prayers for help our answered in a way we don't expect and sometimes don't recognize as a miracle. Sometimes they're answered with a light that illuminates our minds and frees them from misconceptions and misunderstandings. We can then move forward in ways we never thought possible, in the same way that the angel of light led Peter out of the prison. That is a miracle.

And speaking of light - Today is the 400th anniversary of the King James Version of the Bible.
